Codominant IgG and IgA expression with minimal vaccine mRNA in milk of BNT162b2 vaccinees
Abstract Lactating women can produce protective antibodies in their milk after vaccination, which has informed antenatal vaccination programs for diseases such as influenza and pertussis. However, whether SARS-CoV-2-specific antibodies are produced in human milk as a result of COVID-19 vaccination i...
